Tiberi
The tiny hilltop village of Monte Petriolo is the backdrop of the 4th generation Tiberi family's vineyard and homestead cantina. Nestled in the rolling hills of northern Umbria, at roughly 350 meters above sea level, this historic family of farmers and local winemakers is quickly becoming one of the stars of the new guard in Italian Natural Wine.
Cesare Tiberi has lived and worked his entire life in this village. He has been doing harvest here since he was a young boy and still remembers helping plant some of the tiny vineyard plots with his father. Cesare is link to the past, and is now helping the youngest generation, brother and sister team Federico and Beatrice, to bring the family winery into the modern era.
The Tiberis have roughly 3.5 hectares of vineyards planted on several small plots surrounding the family's homestead and cantina. A combination of native red and white Umbrian grape varieties including Gamay del Trasimeno/Grenache (considered 'native' to this part of Umbria), Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Grechetto, Trebbiano and San Colombana are planed on rocky schist, marne and galestro soils makes the Tiberi's wines distinctive and special. The southwestern exposure, rocky soil and dry Mediterranean winds leave these wines with a hearty, spicy and rustic backbone.
Though the Tiberi family has been making wine for generations, it was only in 2015 that Federico and Beatrice took the first major steps to bring the family's wines into the modern era. Together with guidance from grandfather Cesare and family friend and neighbor, Danilo Marcucci, 2015 was a breakthrough vintage. This was the first time that the Tiberi's wines were vinified without any additives as well as bottled and sold beyond the cellar door to village locals.
